Vous avez une ponytail encore?

The Pinarellos of this era have small 'fleur dis lis' style cutouts on the lugs and GPT stamped on the top of the flattened seatstays. Not a Pina.

Royals can't be prosecuted. They are Sovereign. 'Not a lot of people know that'.

What do you want to know?

Some of it wasn't prepped enough, other bits are already peeling as the instructions weren't read. (It is at least 16 hours inbetween coats, not 8). Some of the door got knocked too and is very matted as a result.

Basically it's a disaster, need to strip it down and start again.

Oh I don't have a hot air gun.

Panel or Flat? The best thing you could do other than hiring a professional, is to buy a hot air gun for twenty quid, strip it back. Then you need to prime it, then ideally an undercoat, then top coat. It's much easier to use a gloss roller and tray on a door rather than a brush, as laying oil based paint with a brush needs practice. Just cut in the bits the roller misses with the brush

I've made a mistake with a painting job at home on an exterior door. How long will it take the for the paint to dry so I can strip the door and start again? Or should I try and strip it before the paint has set properly?

What kind of mistake? Personally I'd leave it six to eight hours, then strip it back with a hot air gun.

I don't know if people are aware of this, but a royal visit to your town costs the local counciltax payer twenty thousand pounds an hour, in what is called a 'security charge'. This excludes any additional local policing expenses. This money is paid directly to the family. It is why they do the visits in the first place, thirty million plus a year just isn't enough.

Should this be in the middle-classes handwringing sub forum?

I assumed this was a thread of photos of you lounging round your house in lightweight womens lingerie and a long tinsel wig. I am disappointed.

Most disturbing is riding fixed without any foot retention.

Nor hair retention either.

God help us. I weep for the future etc.

I have a black 700c 32h fixed/free back wheel for sale. In excellent condition barely ridden with braking surface unused. Comes with lockring and 19 tooth sprocket. £ 25.00.

Looks great Ken. Go on, put the C record on it!

One of those generic fixed free back wheels in black they sell in BA. Comes with 19 tooth and lockring. Hardly used and trued by Andy at BA since I bought it. £30 pounds.

I have a rear set if you are interested.

This baby elephant was 30kg at birth, shall we assume you meant that one and were rounding up a little

I am willing to concede that they may well of called that particular elephant 'Tiny' for an entirely different reason. As I said I don't have all the data to hand.

Well I'm glad we sorted that one out.

It's an established weight measurement. In my racing days heavy bikes were always measured in small elephants... 1 heavy bike = 1 small elephant.

Yes, but as The Tester has pointed out, sadly factually incorrect.
Although I don't have the exact figures to hand, let's assume, as the elephant gestation period is two years, that at six months in the womb it could well weigh 25kgs.
Surely then it would be more correct to say. 'The bicycle had the equivalent weight of an elephant of six months in utero'.

Also just noticed where the rear break is.

These are the breaks

Tarantino's first film, the one with the Belgian chap who turned out to be a robot was his best. Forget the name of it now.

No I hadn't seen that one. Thank you!

I've rinsed that one, others seem um, overpriced.

A database that has universal symbols for stuff, trains, animals etc, that's ideally free or at the very least cheap.
